BEATRICE, Neb. — Matthew Pangborn listened quietly Monday as a former co-worker told a jury how she saw him “choke out” one mentally disabled man and hit another with a fist at the Beatrice State Developmental Center.
Stacie Bohlmeyer, a certified nursing assistant who worked
with Pangborn for two years, was the first witness called by the
prosecution during what will be a significant trial in Gage County
District Court in Beatrice.

Editorial: Finally, Good News at Nebraska Nebraska Developmental Center
It has been a long time coming, but the latest news from the Beatrice State Developmental Center is encouraging.
This week, the State of Nebraska learned that after nearly six years of problems, all units at the center for the developmentally disabled have regained federal Medicaid certification.
Losing certification had meant losing about $25 million a year in federal Medicaid funding, money the state had to make up. But more importantly, it showed the depth of the problems at the center where there had been repeated cases of patient abuse and neglect.
